I was turning 50 and needed a preventative colonoscopy. This is not something I would normally talk about (butt) if your looking for a VERY professional place you should consider East Valley Endoscopy. No one wants to have this procedure done but this office had everything very organized and made me feel very comfortable. I received excellent communication from them via text updates, emails and also a few phone calls. I felt well cared for before and after the procedure. I can't thank my diagnostic team enough and highly recommend them.
